حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ التَّيْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً أُطْعِمَ بِهَا طُعْمَةً مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَدَّخِرُ لَهُ حَسَنَاتِهِ فِي الآخِرَةِ وَيُعْقِبُهُ رِزْقًا فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) thus told him: When a non-believer does good he is made to taste Its reward in this world. And so far as the believer is concerned, Allah stores (the reward) of his virtues for the Hereafter and provides him sustenance in accordance with his obedience to Him.

ইসহাক ইবনু ইবরাহীম (রহঃ) ..... আবূ যুবায়র (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি জাবির ইবনু ‘আবদুল্লাহ (রাযিঃ) এর নিকট মুহাল স্থান সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস করতে শুনেছেন। এরপর তিনি হাদীসটি শেষ পর্যন্ত বর্ণনা করেন। আবূ যুবায়র (রহঃ) বলেন, আমি মনে করি যে, জাবির (রাযিঃ) রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর নিকট থেকে সরাসরি এ হাদীস বর্ণনা করেছেন।

روح بن عبادہ نے کہا ہمیں ابن جریج نے حدیث سنا ئی کہا : ہمیں ابو زبیر نے خبر دی کہ انھوں نے جا بر بن عبد اللہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے سنا ان سے مقام تلبیہ کے بارے میں پو چھا جا رہا تھا تو انھوں نے کہا : میں نے سنا پھر رک گئے اور ( کچھ وقفے کے بعد ) کہا : ان ( جا بر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ) کی مراد نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے تھی ( کہ جابر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے ان سے سنا)

Bize İshak b. İbrahim rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Ravh b. Ubâde haber verdi. (Dediki): Bize İbni Cüreyc rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bana Ebu'z-Zübeyr haber verdi. O da Câbir b. Abdillah (Radiyallahu anhüma)'ya ihram yeri sorulurken işitmiş, Ebü'z-Zübeyr, «Câbir'den işittim.» demiş, sonra durarak «Yâni hadîsi Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'e ret ettiğini zannediyorum.»

What it means

If a disbeliever does an act of obedience, then Allah, the Almighty, will provide him with sustenance in this world in return for it. As for the believer, if he does an act of obedience, then Allah will save the reward to give it to him in the Hereafter as well as reward him for his obedience in this world. Allah never misses rewarding the believer for his good deeds; He gives him reward in this world as well as the next.

As to the disbeliever, he is only rewarded in this world for his good deeds, and when the Day of Judgment comes, he will have no good deeds to be rewarded for. Scholars have agreed that if the disbeliever dies upon disbelief, then he will have no reward in the Hereafter, and he will not be rewarded for any of his good deeds performed in this world.

This Hadīth clearly mentioned that the disbeliever will be fed and rewarded in this world for what he did of good deeds which do not require a sound intention to be accepted, such as maintaining ties of kinship, charity, freeing a slave, hosting guests, and similar deeds. However, if the disbeliever does such good deeds then enters Islam, then he will be rewarded for them in the Hereafter, as indicated in the Hadīth: "You embraced Islam with all the previous good deeds you had performed.”
